In a fiery reaction to the upcoming clash between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia has ignited a storm of controversy, declaring, “Boxing is officially the WWE.” The statement, made via Garcia’s Instagram, underscores the growing skepticism surrounding the legitimacy of the sport as the two fighters—one a lightweight and the other a heavyweight—prepare to face off in a bout many are calling a farce.
Scheduled for November 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, the fight has already drawn sharp criticism for its perceived imbalance. Garcia’s comments resonate with boxing purists who see the matchup as a blatant distortion of competitive integrity. “A heavyweight is fighting a lightweight, and you are supposed to believe that it’s a fair fight,” Garcia added, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation.
The stakes are high for both fighters: Jake Paul enters the ring nearly a year after headlining a record-breaking event, while Gervonta Davis boasts the highest pay-per-view buys in recent history. Yet, as anticipation builds, the boxing community is left questioning the very essence of the sport. Is this spectacle truly a fight, or merely a scripted showdown designed for entertainment?
With the clock ticking down to the event, the tension is palpable. Will this fight redefine boxing, or will it further tarnish its reputation? As fans gear up for what promises to be a blockbuster event, one thing is clear: Garcia’s words echo a deep-seated concern that the sport’s authenticity is at stake. The countdown to November 14 has begun, and the boxing world is watching closely.
